Dior - 537 - Riviera

WOW, yesterday was the highlight of my (short) blogging existence! Miss Shimmer (or is it Mrs.?) featured a picture of my Shimmer Gerry swatch on her Facebook page...look here! She also posted a commend on my blog. It's so COOL, I was all excited and felt like I was 12 years old again or something :)

OK back to reality: NAILS!
Today I have Dior 537 Riviera for you. The name did it for me really....altough the color is gorgeous as well.
It's is very vibrant en sunny coral red and I totally see myself on the Italian Riviera sipping a cocktail, wearing a maxidress and a floppy hat with this jummy colour on my nails.
There is just one but...the brush...it is huge and bushy and stiff. It feels like painting your nails with a spatula: I hate it! Can't believe a posh fashion house like Dior is giving us this "instrument" to paint with.

Look at it:

The cap is too tiny, so you don't have a good hold on it...all in all it's horrible to work with!
The polish itself is perfect though: 2 coats that level out nicely, if you look very hard you can see a little vnl but it is negligible.
